Study flags hidden earthquake risk beneath Ganga basin

A study by IIT Roorkee, Sri Dev Suman Uttarakhand University and Dr Harisingh Gour University, published in Geoscience Frontiers, suggests that ancient faults beneath the Ganga basin could pose a significant earthquake risk. Linked to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates, these hidden tectonic features should be considered in future seismic hazard maps.
